Bath re-enamelling in Llanvihangel Pontymoel

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Llanvihangel Pontymoel: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you cover the whole of Torfaen?

The whole UK, including all of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Llanvihangel Pontymoel?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
